Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 67 Average rating: 4.5 "THE THING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN" This video is indispensible for those who want to remember Metallica as the great band they once were. Featuring bootleg performances of songs from Cliff Burtons days with the band as well as photos and rare footage CLIFF EM ALL is the sort of no frills, no BS you got from Metallica before they let everything go to their heads and started releasing mediocre material. Its great to see Dave Mustaine on lead guitar early on. But all Metallica is these days is Kirk Hammett and a couple of middle aged egomaniacs. Sad really. Cliff would be turning in his grave. "Good Band But Bad Quality" I am one of the biggest fans of Metallica, but this dvd has some of the [worst] video ever. It was basically recorded with a personal video camera from like 1980 or something. They put a lot of good old Metallica songs, but just [bad] footage. If you are one of those people who follow metallica through everything then get it, but if you are just one of those people who just started getting into them, dont waste your money. "Brings tears to your eyes..." This is by far NOT the best of Metallica's dvd's, but it takes you back to a time when Metallica was just getting started and didn't really know what they were doing. This is old school Metallica - the true metalheads at their purest. This is one of the only productions where you get to see Cliff jamming on the bass and even Mustaine... Cliff Burton was the best bassist Metallica had, and all of you newbies out there who only know Jason need to get this dvd more than anyone else. No other band in history comes close to producing the powerful music that Metallica has produced over the years, and this dvd takes you through their beginning. You will appreciate Metallica more than you ever imagined when you see how much they used to rock. They were the greatest band in the 80's and they are still kickin' it today. Poor video quality, but raw Metallica the way a fan would see them in concert. "Any Fan of Cliff or Metallica Better Love This ... Or Else!!" In regards to the 1-star review obviously didn't bother to read anything about this DVD before purchasing it. It clearly states in "EVERY" critical review that this is "NOT" a professional recording; it's a compilation of bootleg footage shot by Metallica fans during Cliff's 3 1/2 years with the band. Bootleg footage, almost by definition, is guaranteed to be sub-par quality at best. After everything I've heard about the crappy video quality, I have to say this DVD looks a helluva lot better than I was expecting, and it deserves nothing less that 5 stars! But be warned: anyone expecting quality on par with Cunning Stunts or the S&M show should not buy this DVD. Anyone who loved the Cliff Burton era of Metallica, or just wants to check out Metallica in the old days, pouring their heart, and soul into every show should pick this up in a heartbeat. To quote Jaymz: "The quality in some places ain't that happening, but the feeling is there and that's what matters! "Awesome shots of Metallica in their early days..." .. this video is a must see for all the Metallica fans since their begining. A treat to see Cliff Burton bass solos. Metallica in the younger days belting out No remorse,Whiplash is a real treat . Overall an awesome experience!!
